Thread: Simplifying a radical

Simplify by factoring. Assume that all variables in a randicand represent positive real numbers and no randicands involve negative quatities raised to even powers.

Can anyone help :S?

5√2187x^8 y^29

p.s the 5 is supposed to be the 5th root to the numbers inside.

Hi math121,

Maybe this might help you

5th root of x^8=(x^8)^1/5=(x^5*x^3)^1/5=x*x^3/5= x* 5th root ofx^3
